How to read IIT placement packages
Headlines love the biggest figure, but it rarely reflects a typical graduate. Here is what each number means before you compare institutes.
- CTC vs in-hand
- Packages are quoted as CTC (cost to company) — base pay plus bonuses, stock and relocation. Take-home pay is meaningfully lower, especially for the very large offers.
- Average vs median key
- A few crore-plus offers pull the average upward. The median — the middle student — is usually a better guide to a typical outcome.
- Domestic vs international
- The top figures are often international offers in foreign currency. They are not directly comparable to domestic CTCs, so we label every offer.
- Branch matters
- Computer-science and electronics averages can be two to three times those of core branches at the same institute. Always read branch-wise figures.
